    Honestly, libs must love the genocide. It gives them cover for all the other ways Biden is garbage too. They get to pretend it’s just that one issue (which mustn’t be named because genocide sounds bad), and they align with the left on everything else. Grossly inadequate action on climate change all but certainly dooming millions to death by climate disaster, white supremest border policies and foreign policy more broadly, failure to increase the minimum wage, failure to control cost of living, failure to protect reproductive rights, failure to protect LGBTQ+ rights, massive infrastructure failures like train derailments and Boeing and bridges, funding a corrupt military industrial complex grift in Ukraine, stoking a world war with China while simultaneously denying us affordable electric vehicles, robustly funding the police while discrediting and neutering BLM movement and then siccing their paid piggies on us first chance they get, expansion of domestic surveillance, failure to meaningfully address the rise of mask off fascism in America, healthcare please, no college debt relief, the list goes on and on.

    But no, they just have to pretend we’re all holdouts and unreasonable for caring about one issue. It’s the only one they can’t rationalize away because genocide is truly a bridge too far, so they retreat behind rhetoric and flatten the magnitude of that issue by pretending it somehow has to be considered in the larger picture while simultaneously refusing to give the larger picture any kind of sober analysis. These people are truly the smoothest of brains.

      Of course they do, and it doesn’t matter the flavour of liberal (conservatives/fascists) you talk to, it’s like they’re cruel for cruelty’s sake. They believe that their imperialist genocides are unquestionably justified, and they’ll be smug while they do it too.
